First the nave was secured with an emergency roof, and in 2010/11 the roof was rebuilt in its original shape and height. Since 2004, new stained glass windows have been used, some in the traditional style, but some also based on modern designs. The building is no longer used as a church, but for exhibitions and events. The pointed tower, which was once over 100 meters high, is not to be restored in its original style, but rather as part of the project Ikareum be replaced by a modern, bare and airy steel construction.
